Miscellaneous: Pet Buff Messages

[Jaxon]

The pet's owner should receive a notification when one of their pet's buffs fades.

This one is from Aelzrith's classic screenshot collection at https://www.flickr.com/photos/aelzrithneverest/, Velious era:

It should work with debuffs too. This is from http://www30.tok2.com/home/redbug/eq/diary/td2.html , Kunark era.

Damn that's classic. 6 slot hotbutton UI. Confirmed this should be a thing.

Pets should give back worn off messages for benefit and detrimental effects!

Didn't the devs here remove this at one point? I remember it being it patch notes somewhere

About that URL....

On the first page it's nothing but PoP pictures. Please be specific for the server staff to respond. Or else, they won't.

EDIT:

I see the one you posted, but are there more? That's what I mean.

I believe so but those pictures are confirmed classic, no way they could've been taken post-Velious, specifically that Severilous one.

I agree, just wondering where they got the evidence that pet messages were not classic and removed them.

This 2011 thread just has discussion, but no evidence.

So.....I'm not @ home right now but I swear the Air pet already reports "Invis has worn off" message. Oh.....Fire pet DS and Epic pet DS does have a message at time of buff, not worn off though.

The other buffs or whatever do not.

Aelzith posted his screenshot album here https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=147194

The images are in reverse chronological order. The POP era ones are at the beginning and the classic era ones are all the way at the end. If you go to the last page of his album you can see the classic screenshots, and if you start to flip forward you'll see the progression to Kunark and eventually Velious. You'll find the screenshot with the buff message on page 13, which is squarely in the Velious section.

I've never gotten an AirElementalInvisibility wearing off message here on P99.
